“Ondo State Government made provision of significant budgetary allocation of not less than N1.5 Billion for family and children intervention programmes in 2023 Budget, to help families, because poverty is one of the reasons we are having crisis in the Country” .

These are the words of Ondo State Deputy Governor, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, as International Labour Organisation ILO , Nigeria Country Office delegation team, led by ILO Fundamental Specialist, Ms. De-Coninck Sophie paid him a visit in his office in Akure on Tuesday.

The Deputy Governor and some cabinet members received the team on behalf of Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON.

The ILO delegation were in the State to appreciate Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON for creating enabling environment in the State for the implementation of the Accelerating Action for the Elimination of Child Labour in Supply Chains in Africa (ACCEL Phase 1) project in Ondo State.

They were also in the state to notify the State Government of new projects that will be implemented in Nigeria.

While welcoming them, the Deputy Governor said, “we are delighted that ILO Country Office for Nigeria is partnering us to get message on Action Against Forced Labour and Child Labour” .

“We are abundantly appreciative of their support as it will go a long way in helping to achieve the project goal” .
